Followup to a previous journal, current writing project is Beastars fanfiction related. Currently working on a book and will not start posting till the work is past rough draft stage. Characters will be drawn as I am able to fund them, being cheaper than my Elites. I will get to work on them once again, but that is not my current project and the drawings for my current one should be cheaper. Not as anime-esque as the original cartoon, but....it is what it is.

I have several OCs and a handful of characters introduced via the anime. It being a fanfiction.....several things will be different.

Rikko Hirohito = A kangaroo/utahraptor hybrid that is a carnivore, aims to try and make the world a better place as best as he can. Current goal is finding the murderer of his 'little brother' Tem. Current member of Drama Club.

The project has officially started. With help from  tiomara.productions, the first three are hot of the press. Scarlet, Pory, and Kyp. As it is, it will probably be one per month, perhaps 2 or 3 in May. 2 or 3 may also be done in November. December, looking to do a beauty plus sized pic of one of the characters. At 65 bucks apiece, they'll take a bit to work through. But....

Hopefully, we'll work through them fairly quickly.

Alright guys, the NSFW piece I had in mind to get sorted as a step up from the Christmas picture is now done. Since I have to pay for all my art and since it'll mostly be from the same artist,  tiomara.productions, it will be sporadic at best. I hope to have three pieces here in the next month or two and another piece or two around my birthday. Beyond that, it will be slow going. Since I am PAYING for each piece, I will be bringing my characters to life one at a time as I can afford it.

Not sure which ones will be first, but likely ones I am using in a RP with a friend of mine. Information and background is created on each and there is also the character I got from  blacktail. So, it'll be a toss up as to who gets drawn.

There are also a number of races courtesy of  ulariogryphon I might be making use of. Probably NPCs mostly, so not drawn. But, there is at least one that might be getting drawn reasonably soon that I crafted using a species as a base. So, the NSFW and sexy artwork will probably be on the back burner for the time being as I focus on a different direction, bringing characters to life. My birthday may garner a piece, but...I may just use it for another Elite spot.

I will start posting more updates regarding my journal including updates on Utopia. See my previous journal for information regarding Utopia and invites to the Discord.

Starting later this month, and hopefully on a monthly basis, I will be uploading art done by the artist  tiomara.productions starting with an NSFW piece and then going to my Elites, my soldiers that I have made over the past 20 years but never really gotten drawn.

I was thinking about listing the characters here, but I feel that given the amount, that would take up too much space. I have a better idea for that. Especially since I will have a few other pieces of fetishy or eye candy based art that will be posted as I have the funds to pay for it. Updates when work on the art will be posted here as well as a stream location and I hope you guys will act nicely. I will speak to the artist regarding this and at the very least, I will simply post when the stream will be and about when the art piece should be here on FurAffinity.

Most images will be a basic reference sheet to get the character drawn and out there. Uniform, appearance, weapons they most frequently use, etc. On special occasions where I have more funds or am willing to put more towards art, I will have a nicer image drawn that is either fetishy based or a nicer drawing of a character that has already had an image drawn.

2 versions of my sona, not the transformed female....both the zebronox and the original dragonroo will be first followed by each Elite going down a list I have in Google Docs that the artist also has access to. A few additional characters I have created and developed for Beastars (still need to watch it) will be done alongside as more funds are available. My main focus right now is Utopia, both past and present. So, getting the Elites (my backbone) drawn is paramount. Slowly to start, and then probably quicker as time goes on....hopefully.

Also, I want to thank  blacktail for more or less making official through a note conversation I had with him the transfer of a character called Molly.

I look forward to filling here, my Discord, and my Google Drive with my characters. Stories will start to be drawn up as a storyline idea presents itself. I will update here as that information gets updated. For now, I will put the Elites up....somewhere on here that makes sense without taking up a load of room.

I have reuploaded the vast majority of my characters drawn by some wonderful artists as well as the stories I had posted on the other channel. I still have a few things left to do, so I am currently working on those. One benefit of rereading and doublechecking my stories to make sure I am labeling them correctly for the correct audiences is some of the things I utilized I can utilize again. Generic words used for certain accents, since I do not wish to use our countries and our world, but we have a bunch of wondrous accents. So, as I figure such things out, I will make a list of the accents I am aware of and what they will be referred to in Utopia.

Also, Utopia will be the world or land, not the city. The city will merely be a place. And, again, Utopia is likely a stand-in until I think of something better. Lush countrysides, large coniferous forests, a vast desert, open tundra...all different kinds of biomes. The big city itself will be centered in a more temperate climate, probably near a mountain and with a bunch of trees next to an inland ocean. A lot of my inspiration will come from Australian cities, and the vehicles will in fact be right hand drive.

Also, most made up species like sergals and kobolds will largely not be present, same with digimon or pokemon. At least for the time being. Going to start with realistic animals as my anthrokin base with dragons making the ruling class and the drakes (dragon and anthrokin hybrids) making up the ruling political class. Others like unicorns, pegasi, minotaurs, and other such creatures will have their own place and have some basis on more humanoid mythical races. Magic will exist, but it will be a minor thing outside of certain regions. Taurs and nagas will also exist and have their own racial traits as well as certain rules.

Starting next Wednesday, I will begin working on the first wave of bios. That's the plan. Anyone that wishes to have a character in Utopia, you'll need a base bio. Once I create the first, you'll know the standard. It'll just be a base set of features and a description that paints a mental image. The thumbnail will be the car that they drive. I have several ways I may utilize the writing of the bio, and Google will be where I draw the cars from. Living in the US, I have access to cars here....and not all cars are common, plus they are left hand drive. So, Google and images not my own but used to serve a purpose and create a general image of what the character drives. I will start with a certain number, and I will constantly increase that number. Each individual in the city will get a base bio, but not every individual will get a story.

My intent is to make this a community, create role plays, maybe create a general story idea as the city evolves, as the land changes, as a threat looms. Some of you may know of the artist and writer  laurenrivers. They've done a few little stories with a cast of characters, both human and anthro. They had their own setting and their own ideas and plots. This is mine. I want to give more to the world and bring it to life. I want it populated with a wide range of characters, giving me the option of little groups to choose for certain arcs. Some may intertwine.

It's a big project. A few of the friends I have on Discord and in a Twitch group are interested in taking part. One is even offering support. I was only interested in gaining potentially a few community members.

And, for right now, it will stay here on Furaffinity. But, I may have to move SOME aspects to Discord since it makes for a better community platform. There will be rules in place. Breaking them....well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I made a journal earlier this morning/last night and it was a bit of a long rambling rant about my indecisiveness over what I would be doing. My uncertainty about my older account  xjkbugatti along with the one I am currently posting these journals on.

I have made the decision to stick with my current account, this one here. I have work for probably about a week, which is time for me to think about my following steps, but I know what my first steps are.

On the next night prior to my next day off, probably Tuesday or Wednesday, I will be hopping onto my older account for a quick cleanup. I will clean up my full inbox since the thought of it drives my OCD nuts. The artwork and stories will be left where they are on that account, as will it as a memento of another age so to speak.

No, I will just clean out my inbox, make a journal regarding this new account here, and then download everything I need to in order to transfer a copy of all my stories and pieces of art of my characters (all drawn by someone else, and some I hadn't really uploaded yet before). All my older stories, since most are fetish related, will be set aside in additional folders and whatnot for sorting. The images will likewise have their own place there as well.

My intent, apart from a few images of my older sona and the war story I wrote maybe, is to essentially leave my main featured area blank. The first wave of stuff to be added will be bios. A brief summary of species, gender, height, weight, and a few other things followed by a description painting all those together for a mental image. The thumbnails, since I lack the ability to draw, will be cars that they will be driving. Images pulled from Google. Hopefully, on that note, I can stick with all right or left hand drive. Not a big deal if I can't, just a nitpick really.

Unlike with the last one, I intend to avoid being just on the side and existing, not fully embracing this as I have always kind of thought. I have existed, looked at porn based art, and wrote fetish porn based stories. I will still do both, as most of the art I will be faving will probably be the same big girls I was, but I want to branch out. The fetishy stories will still be written if I get an idea I want to put to paper, but their place will be at the side...for enjoyment in the more niche area they are in. As my intent is to make use of my large featured area to create this Utopia. Starting first with adjusted bios for proper civilian roles for my already established characters followed by those I have yet to create along with one I will hopefully be able to buy, otherwise a note will have to be made on THAT particular bio.

I want to create a community, starting with my characters and building around a city that will probably draw a lot of inspiration from Australian cities like Melbourne and Sydney. Not sure how accents will work description-wise since I'd rather avoid the countries we have here, but hopefully I can figure something out.

Any ideas for towns, the city's name, or places within the city will be gladly appreciated. Credit will be given where credit is due.

So, the plan is to use THIS account from here on out. Just one last primary visit to my old account to wrap up a few things before leaving it be (you all should be able to still access it as I won't be doing anything to it apart from clearing my inbox and leaving a journal as a note). I will be making a few folders here for my older stuff and prepare my featured area for the newer stuff and the beginning build of Utopia.

I am hoping for a nice sorting option for favorites so I can potentially do more than just focus on the big girls, but.....that will be a bridge I cross when I get there.

And, again, more rambling....but.....I have a plan.

Not quite sure what the future will bring exactly, as my past has become more than a little complicated. Here's hoping things become less complicated and more manageable. I have moved around a bit and seem to finally be settling down for a time (hopefully). But, due to some issues regarding my current computer being a hand-me-down and not being the best, I am hesitant to go full tilt like I was. My older account of  xjkbugatti was more or less abandoned about 3 years ago or so along with the account I have on DeviantArt. However, I have created this account as an easy go to until I can get my hard drive and the images I had on it sorted. I may keep them, I may drop them, and there are some I'd like to take a look at at least one more time.

Due to the circumstances, I will be utilizing this account for the time being. I may return a little earlier to my older DeviantArt account since most of what is left on there that I will be having some fun with is cars since most of you are no longer on there. And on that note, I have noticed a few accounts here have been disabled by some of the folks I used to follow. I imagine there was a journal or something somewhere explaining their temporary or indefinite hiatus, but my own hiatus nixed my being able to view it. Kind of sad.

I will probably start fully and properly using this account like I had my older one once I get things a little more settled down. I may even make it my new main given that FluttershyPhoenix is a tag I use in a number of places now being both a Brony and a Furry. My new species mix too, zebra/dragon or zebron, is a sign of something new as well. I'll still keep the older account up regardless of whether I hop back on and use it or not so you guys will still have that. I will probably take the images drawn of my characters and post them here, as well as the stories I have written. Not today, but probably in a few days when I decide to properly bring this account to life....if I decide to. Still on the fence about what I am going to do.

My older account focused a bit on my devious side, mostly bigger girls in regards to the art along with things I thought were cool. In fact, my avatar is one such image drawn by  hectorthewolf. I wished I had a better option, but it is currently one of the better images of my characters. Hopefully, once I get things more ironed out, I can start pushing forward a little bit of cash to get my other characters and sonas drawn.

And, taking a page from  laurenrivers in regards to story ideas, I am going to give myself a challenge. As I said, I am still on the fence regarding which account I will make my permanent home here. The older one had a less personable avatar that was just some random Jaguar XJ220 supercar image I found. My current avatar is a character of mine, a German Shepherd female named Ridge, drawn by another artist on here. This one is already more personable and based off of me, at least in my opinion. So, here is my challenge and what might ultimately make me decide to stay here....which I was already contemplating anyway.

I am going to utilize a bunch of different names. Rather than picking them out of a hat, I will use names I have encountered in real life. People, cars, places, etc. The names supplied will just be a name. I will create a character AROUND that name. Species, gender, bio, the whole package. There is a thing I have pondered on some off and on, and I think I will make it real. My original thought was utilizing all the characters I knew of, creating a town around them. But, since most are not mine, I am not going to do that anymore. Instead, I will create characters to populate my idea. A Utopia, a modern civilization. Might even do a more futuristic one in space. I will still (if I use this one, definitely if I stick with my older) favorite big girls and probably cool stuff (hopefully sorting it this time around since that seems to be a thing now), but I intend to create some stories. Some will be sexual and for some nice fun times, others will be a proper story...hopefully set in my Utopia. If I can get it properly off the ground, I will probably stick with this channel....this account.

New sona. New idea. New home?

If you guys are fully interested, I will post a bio of each character I create. The names I use will be first names. Last names are unknown currently. Species is unknown. Gender is unknown. I will also accept city name ideas. I will be creating restaurants and places to go while working out how food development and production will work. In regards to cars, it will merely be a use of the cars we have here. Except, the world is my ground....not just one country. And the cars will likely be the face of the character until they get drawn, if they ever do. Given how many I will be creating, and the fact that most artists aren't cheap, I doubt they'll be getting a visual image face on the site anytime soon. The only image, will be the mentally generated image which will likely be different for every single person.

So, I'm hopeful. And, looking forward to a more plain storyline rather than focusing on using my characters as soldiers.

P.S. Also,  annex, I am hoping to speak with you in notes at your convenience. I will be sending one here in a few days when I have some time to properly think out what I want to say. But the long and short of it is that I want to buy one of your characters.
